It's very easy, you just need the parts, a soldering iron and a bit of knowing where goes where. Piece of piss really. I make Y split cables, so use microphone cable. works a treat.

and there you have it, the man with the most time on his hands joins the conversation hahaha

I make my own cables too. Cheaper that way and very easy to fix should something go wrong.

hahahaha. Not that its an issue anymore, but my parents still don't know I have my 8x10. I lived at home with them when I got it but I could never take it home because they would have just flipped out, plus there would have been no where to keep it in my house. In my 2 years of owning it, its never seen my house. Its spent its life living in practice places, drummers houses, in the back of a van, in the tunnels etc.

I miss arsing around in BOD. good times.

totally agree. I like buying gear, I don't really have the money to do it, but when I do, I love it. I remember once getting really upset when I was younger because I never thought that I would be able to own any sort of bass amp, and I would never be able to afford another bass. Now I have 4 basses and a great amp and cab set up and I wouldn't change them for the world. Mesa Boogie is the shnizz

seems you don't need expensive gear that sounds great if you don't play enough to justify having it.

to be honest, i've never seen this happen. I've seen puke around the toilets, but I would have assumed that was just horrendously drunk twats standing up having a piss then throwing up all over themselves and the floor.

no, there isn't a dishwasher in this flat.

some people spend that much on high quality rigs, others don't, sure you said something like that once...

"non stick" pans....aye...right

now that sounds like the tunnels.

grown men, who piss all over toilet seats and don't clean it up. I mean, what the fuck? o_O

In fact, you should still get a y split cable and you should still do that. brings out the best in that amp.

fair dos. if i were you, i would have gotten a y split cable, and used both inputs on the mesa. It sounds lush. Thats what I do. I just bang straight into the amp, no effects or anything and it comes out great. I also use a jazz bass these days. Which works with the mesa very well imo.

I'm assuming because you tuned down, you played/play in a metal band. Stingray basses are one of the most aggressive sounding basses out there. And coupled with a mesa 400+ head and an Ampeg 8x10, you can't really go wrong...at all. Rex Brown used a Stingray around the time of Far Beyond Driven, and on the official live 101 album, that track at the end "I Can't Hide" has Stingray written all over it. Your comment about them being more suited to jazz/blues etc is just flat out wrong, otherwise, many punk/metal band wouldn't use them. Not meaning to be a dick, so sorry if I'm coming across like I am.

you could try mine as well if you like, just to see the comparison between the standard and the HH model.

Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinkys. Work well for me, going to be trying dean markley strings soon though. oh yes.

to be honest, Hen probably wouldn't know. But I could be wrong.

well, it still sounds like a stingray, but better. In the position i use it, you can get loads of grit, but also has lots of warm lows. I'm not a big fan of "the" stingray sound, find it to "clanky".

1700 watts from the amp.

as far as I'm aware the system is rated at 2 kilowatts. But I'll check that out for certain.

yeah that will probably be ok. The PA isn't that powerful. I don't think it would manage with 200 people. But for 100, it will probably be ok. But seriously, take my advice, work with the engineer.

yeah these guitars are beautiful.
